@thephilmelendez How can people support AB 1509? People can support AB1509 by accessing the toolkit here https://t.co/xOB4TYrN3W and help raise awareness about the bill.
I pray that people rush to be injected with the will to change the injustices of the legal system, the same way they're rushing to take the Covid-19 vaccine.
@akhan1437 America's prisons are not a place of rehabilitation. They are a place of punishment; therefore, they don't prepare people to successfully re-enter society.
@akhan1437 A lockdown is when you're forced to be in a small space with another individual for an unlimited time. The only relief you get is during shower time which is every 72 hours, and the time you have to take a shower is 3 to 5 minutes. Imagine that!!
Let's be real and acknowledge that the United States of America is still functioning with the same foul spirit that it was 400 years ago. She just learned mask it well using skilled deception tactics.
@akhan1437 Indeed! But that was only one battle won. We are still at war against unrighteous policies and behaviors. It feels good to have a change of guard though.
Don’t stop protesting for BLM & systemic change if Biden wins. Because America, you have a habit of using black, brown, indigenous & poor ppl to get what you want.
We can't have an elected government that represents all of us when some members of our community are being excluded from our elections and denied the ability to participate in our democracy. Today is the day to vote #YesOnProp17 to #FreeTheVote because #DemocracyNeedsEveryone.
If what we're investing in is not enhancing the quality of human life, making our communities safer and our schools better equipped to prepare our children for the the future then it's a waste.
I voted for many reasons. But one is because I pay taxes and they’re giving my money to policing & prisons. It may not change much, but I can’t just pay for police & correctional officers’ salaries quietly.
